SA Class Sizes (Consolidated)
I find it really surprising by 2022 we don't have an aggregated list of summer analyst class sizes across banks because they vary significantly and can be extremely helpful for recruiting and estimating WLB. I also know that class sizes have changed following COVID.
If you know how many summer analysts your bank took in 2022 for NYC or the entire US, please comment below and I will add. For the sake of comparison, please only include interns working between junior and senior year. I'll update as comments come in. Happy to expand this to multiple years / by group / full time sizes if interest is there.
Bulge Bracket:
GS: 220 NYC / 280 US
MS: 128 NYC / ___ US
JPM: ___ NYC / 198 US
BAML: ___ NYC / ___ US
CITI: ___ NYC / ___ US
BARC: ___ NYC / 140 US
CS: ___ NYC / ___ US
DB: 67 NYC / ___ US
UBS: ___ NYC / ___ US
Elite Boutique:
CVP: ___ NYC / 40 US
EVR: 60 NYC / ___ US
PJT: 21 NYC / 27 US (both M&A)
LAZ: ___ NYC / 69 US
MOE: 36 NYC / 45 US
PWP: 31 NYC / ___ US
GUG: 60 NYC / 100 US
Other:
ROTH: 51 NYC / 65 US
WF: ___ NYC / 128 US
WB: ___ NYC / 100 US
Laz posted on LinkedIn how many they took for the entire us. I think it was a little less than 70
69 summer analysts and 26 summer associates
nice
That includes asset management. OP your number is wrong, plz fix
What does class size have to do with WLB?
Deals completed divided by class size gives you a rough estimate of WLB at a high level, I would bet it's much worse at MOE vs. PJT
Congrats on Gugg that’s hype
why? Is Gugg not an EB?
following
PJT 2022: 42 NYC; 52 US; 72 Total
Has to be across M&A/RX/Park Hill right? That’s big
Yes across all. US M&A around 27.
how do you find the class size for your bank?
Count them
Gugg not an EB
I think you should also include number of offices, as "US" can seem misleading if a BB has 6 different locations and an EB only has LA and NY
who cares dude people can figure it out
MOE: 30ish NYC/40ish US
NYC has 36 https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/investment-banking/moelis-ny-exit…
Total including LA I would estimate 45
Thanks I've updated, can anyone from BBs chime in?
NYC has 36 https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/investment-banking/moelis-ny-exit… Total including LA I would estimate 45
Goldman is near 300 across the US, 40 summers in my group alone
How is that possible? Are you in Classics?
Overestimate really more around 250. Classics.
Bump
CS Summer 2022 - Around 40 for S&T. Next summer probably 50.
Gugg 43 NY M&A / 66 US for incoming FT class
This doesn’t seem right I heard Gugg takes like 100 SA and gives returns to like ~70% of them
Ignore the title but can confirm these numbers are roughly right. Ignore the guy with the 100+ offers
EVR NY M&A has like 60 interns
Where my BB boys at
goldman is closer to 15-20 interns per classic group in NY and there are 8 of them. Assuming the upper end, we'll say 160 interns in NY for coverage and for Financing group it's approximately another 60 interns maybe 220 interns in NY + another 40-80 (I'm not sure) across the US. I'd say GS takes roughly 250 interns in IBD across the US
They severely over-hired. Can’t wait to see these return offer rates
Did all BBs overhire or just GS?
That's the first time I've ever seen Centerview abbreviated "CEN" and not ""CVP"
Centerview took around 40 SAs last recruiting class. Would guess it is the same now.
PWP is 31 in NYC I believe.
Would note that this includes restructuring
Bump
Rothschild NY is 51 analysts interns and 19 associate
USA as a whole is 65 analyst and 23 associate so 88 total
Significantly over-hired but doesn’t seem likely they will cull.
Added
WF: 128 SA’s across all offices
Would you happen to know a rough % of interns in the NYC office? Which groups would be best to gun for if I wanted to be placed in nyc for summer 2023? Thanks!
~50% ECM and Sponsors are only based in nyc network with groups asap don’t wait for placement but don’t be annoying either
Morgan Stanley 128 NYC.
Is that IBD and GCM?
Just IBD
JPM: 198 SA's across all US offices, ~90 summer associates
HL?
Gugg is ~60 in NY M&A / ~100 in US
This is the right number.
Barclays has 140 across the US including ECM, DCM, etc. “Traditional” banking in NY/CA I think is more like 60-80, but don’t put this in until someone else confirms
Blair is ~100, roughly half in Chicago and the other half spread across regional offices
Updated for the recent additions, page is starting to get more filled out now
Any insight on Nomura?
bump
Jefferies?
Bump
Pls fix - FTP is an EB
Gugg EB and Roth is not? Bro wake up
HL?
TD?
As someone who graduated a while ago, these class sizes are insane to me. You all should just be aware that if we hit a longer recession these headcount numbers can get much, much lower.
hi
Bump for BB
Bump

Nothing useful to contribute, but class sizes are insane vs London / Europe
What do you mean by that?
London/Europe is much smaller (2x-3x smaller)
